A very interesting slice of a segment of London life leading up to WWII. An easy read, but I thought well worth my time. The story is about 5 young women who all work as Nippies for the Corner House restaurants. This was the first time I'd heard of these restaurants and how they opeated, so it was a bit of a good history lesson. The story tells of the day-to-day lives of these girls, their families, and the young men they meet. Each girl is different, but their stories interconnect and you get a sense of what London life was like. First time I heard about the Pearly Kings & Queens too. Looking forward to reading the next in the trilogy.
